Don't!

"Don't!" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. It was released on January 18, 2005, to country and adult contemporary radio as the second single from her Greatest Hits compilation album. The song was written by Twain and then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The song was also included under the end credits of the 2005 film An Unfinished Life, and in the Brazilian soap opera América.

"Don't!" was a moderate commercial success, reaching the top 20 on the US Adult Contemporary chart as well as the Ultratip charts in both Flanders and Wallonia. It was her fourth highest debut on the Hot Country Songs chart, yet only reached number 24. The song garnered no promotion during its release, as Twain was battling Lyme disease and couldn't perform live. "Don't!" was performed for the first time ever as a fan request during the Winnipeg stop of her 2023 Queen of Me Tour.

Music video
The music video for "Don't!",directed by Wayne Isham, was shot in Oaxaca, Mexico at Quinta Real Hotel and Yucca plantation. It was filmed on October 24, 2004, and released on January 7, 2005, to Great American Country. In 2006, CMT Canada named "Don't!" the eighth sexiest country music video.

In the video Twain rides a horse through rows of Yucca wearing a red dress, and walks around in the hotel wearing a white dress and corset. Near the end of the video, a tear runs down her face. The video is included on certain CD singles of "Don't!".

Chart performance
"Don't!" debuted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart the week of January 29, 2005, at number 44, Twain's fourth highest debut of all time, and highest of the week.

"Don't!" became Twain's tenth consecutive top 20 single there.

In the UK, "Don't!" appeared at its peak position of number 30 on March 12, 2005. This became, and remains, her lowest peaking single in that country, and only remained on the chart for three weeks. It fell to number 57 in its second week, then fell off the chart completely. It re-entered the chart for one more week at number 87.
